What I handle on your behalf
From self assessment and VAT returns to payroll and cloud bookkeeping, I take every compliance obligation off your plate personally.
Accounts and Tax Returns
I prepare and file your year-end accounts and tax return, whether you are a sole trader or a limited company. Every figure is checked by me before it goes to HMRC or Companies House. You will know exactly what you owe and when, with no last-minute surprises.
Sole trader and limited companyVAT Returns and Making Tax Digital
I handle your VAT returns and submit them directly to HMRC under Making Tax Digital. From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax is mandatory for sole traders and landlords earning over 50,000 pounds, and I can get you set up and compliant now. You do not need to worry about the deadlines or the software.

I set up and manage your books using QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero or Sage, whichever suits your business. Monthly or quarterly bookkeeping keeps your records clean and your tax position clear throughout the year. When your accounts are done at year-end, there are no scrambled records to untangle.

It comes down to three things: you always deal with me directly, nothing gets missed, and you always know what you are paying.
You speak to me, not a junior member of staff
At Anchor Accounts and Books, there are no handoffs. I handle every client personally, which means the person who picks up the phone knows your accounts inside out. If you have a question at short notice, you will hear back from me the same day.
Fixed fees with nothing hidden
You will know your fee before we start. I do not charge by the hour or add on costs for every email. That makes it easier to plan your business finances and means you will never open an unexpected invoice from me.
Plain English, every time
I will not send you a letter full of accounting jargon and leave you to work out what it means. If there is something you need to understand, I will explain it clearly and directly. That is not a courtesy, it is just how I work with every client.
How it works
Four straightforward steps, and you will have a qualified accountant handling everything within days.
Book a free call
Use the link at the top of this page to pick a time that suits you. There is no obligation and no sales pressure. It is a short call with me to understand your situation and answer any questions you have.
I review your current position
We go through what you have, what is outstanding and what needs to happen first. If your records are behind or incomplete, that is fine. I have seen every variation of disorganised books and we will work out a clear plan.
We agree a fixed fee and get set up
Once you are happy to proceed, I confirm your fixed monthly fee in writing. I then handle the onboarding, connect your cloud accounting software if needed and take over your compliance calendar.
Ongoing support, every deadline covered
From that point forward, every VAT return, payroll run, self assessment and year-end account is handled by me personally. You will always hear back from me the same day you get in touch.
